Why We Love Weddings So Much

From the time we are hired to do a wedding, we start working with the bride and groom through engagement portraits and pre-wedding consultations.  By the time the wedding arrives, the bride and groom not only consider us to be friends . . . they trust us, too.  That’s crucial on a day that can otherwise be very stressful.  Most of our brides and grooms have heard horror stories about other photographers, and the ability to know and trust us before the wedding arrives gives them a great sense of peace. 

It is not common, however, for us to meet the parents or extended family and friends that will also be participating in the wedding ahead of time.  So when the wedding day arrives, we are strangers (of sorts) to them.  And, for the most part, they are not really interested in having their pictures taken over and over again.  But, over the course of the day, we witness a transformation.  They not only get to know us and like us, too, they start grabbing us at the reception and ask us to come take pictures of different people.  When the day is done, they, too, have become friends and are excited to see the pictures.   

For us, it really doesn’t get much better than this. 

Here are a couple quick shots from our two recent weddings.  We’ll be posting more soon, so be sure to check back.

 

Until the next time,

Ron and Judianne
